solution, and yet chuck hagel has insisted that such solutions are reachable with iran, hamas, and hezbollah. the question arises is he hard headed enough. if you disagree with everyone and you're wrong, being wrong by yourself is no improvement over being wrong in a group. >> let me ask you about iran. hagel voted against sanctions. he said he's for multilateral sanctions, but he voted against unilateral sanctions. that was well outside the mainstream. the senate voted 76-22 in favor of that, and in 2006, to david's point, hagel said, and i'll quote him in part, i would say a military strike against iran, a military option, is not a vise nl, feasible, responsible option. i believe a political settlement will be the answer, not a military settlement. since then, he has tempered his point of view. in an op-ed as recently as september, he said war with iran is not inevitable. is he really outside the mainstream on iran? >> i have to say i have served three different periods at the pentagon over the last 15 years. and there's an expression at the pentagon called hair on fire. when people get al

we must do all we can to prevent hezbollah or any terrorist group determined to describing the united states from acquiring chemical weapons. and we cannot allow terrorist groups in authoritarian regimes to mistakenly believe that they can use chemical weapons against u.s. troops or america's friends or partners in regions without severe consequences. our allies throughout the world must be assured that the united states will stand by its security commitments and stand by its word. our adversaries must not believe that they can develop and use weapons of mass destruction without consequence. a world where these adversaries are emboldened instead of deterred is not the world that we want to live in, as president obama said last week. for example, north korea with its massive stockpile of chemical weapons threatens our treaty ally republic of korea. directly threatens the 28,000 u.s. troops stationed there on the dmz. during my recent trip to asia, i had a very serious and long discussion with the south korean defense minister about this real threat that north korea's chemical weapons p
